Program Notes
As conscious subjects, we are within a world replete with rich, semantically dense aspects, a world that gives our perception it’s grounding. Also, our embodied experience could lead us to say that aesthetics begins and ends from within a natural standpoint. But rather than merely transfiguring the commonplace, this piece strives to bring uncommon aspects, continually apprehended but seldom noticed, into audibility… a kind of electroacoustic lullaby for the troubled times we live.
The main tension trough the piece is between rapid spatial movement in a virtual space and more static sound objects, between impulsive/plosion type sounds and scrapping/rubbing/jet stream sounds – hence the title. Hopefully, all this will successfully conspire to break the acousmatic curtain, from embodied experiences into a intentional, poetic experience.
